Recs: ICM's Top 10 H/D flash fics

[icmezzo_archive]

I adore flash fic.

Lovelovelove it.

I love writing it (my own list of flashfic is longer than I realized, e.g., Passed in Paris, Theater, Crack, The Missing One, Ivory and Eyes, etc., etc., etc.)...

But I especially love reading it.


I was reminded exactly how much I love flash fic (by my incorrect-but-I-don't-care definition usually around 1-2k words but up to as many as 4k) by an HP author, mijeli, whose writings I stumbled onto the other day. And then I realized that one of the advantages of tracking each and every HP fic I read, is that I can easily go back and rec out some fantastic stories with relative ease.

So in honor of my current obsession with flashing (*snort*), I decided to list out my favorites for you... some are (okay, lots are) angsty as hell, some are porny, some are loveydovey, and others are hilarious. Read the summaries and warnings, frealsies.

And with that, I give you, in no particular order, my Top 10 Fav H/D flash fics:

1. Days of Denial by iamthelizardqueen
2. Disintegrate by rurounihime
3. Blue Vase by ivyblossom
4. Remnants by tuesdaymidnight
5. Up Jumped the Devil by mijeli 
6. That Veela Thing by empathic_siren
7. Coins by inell
8. Kiss Me With Fire by lucilla_darkate (read warnings, people)
9. Trenches by sara_holmes
10. As the hand, the glove by dulcemia   

And, lest you imagine I don't appreciate fantastic comedy, there's always Wank by faithwood, which fits the word count if not the standard format.

Also, I absolutely adore Promise Me by frayach but it really is a shade longer than I'd normally call flashfic.

(Oh, and of course, there's no way I've read more than even a small sampling of all of the flashfic out there, so if you've read and loved one I haven't listed, lemme know about it! I'm always in the hunt for great new stories.)

Enjoy!
